Annual Planning Meeting for IOE Confucius Classrooms

Yesterday headteachers and their designated Confucius Classroom Managers joined us from schools across the country for the annual IOE Confucius Classroom planning meeting.

So what are IOE Confucius Classrooms and what do they do?

IOE Confucius Classrooms are mainstream schools in England that serve as designated centres of excellence in teaching Mandarin Chinese. They are schools with Mandarin embedded in their curriculum and they are committed to helping other schools develop their own Mandarin provision through regional meetings and outreach programmes.

If your school fits the criteria and your headteacher would like to apply for IOE Confucius Classroom status in the future, please write to us at chinesenetworks@ioe.ac.uk. Please note that there are no vacancies at the time of writing. We will notify schools that have expressed an interest as soon as the next round of applications opens.
